My Bry

The meaning of the name Bryant is "Strong". The meaning of his middle name, Caleb is "Courageous". My prayer is that he grows into a strong and courageous man who loves his Lord with all that he's got.
It's not Bry's birthday or any special occasion but I really wanted to do a blog about my favorite boy. Maybe because it's a New Year, which always leads me to look back at how for we've come. I remember 8 years ago, I was well into my pregnancy and had no idea what our little guy would look like. It was the big Y2K and I didn't know what the new year held for me except that I would be holding our sweet child in the months to come. I didn't realize that my heart would be taken for such a ride when I signed up for motherhood. It has brought me to such heights and sometimes such excruciating pain. I didn't know I could love a tiny little bundle of life so much. I remember times of loving him so much that I would just hurt over it and sometimes even cry. Funny thing motherhood is.
For now, we'll just love him and lead him the best we can. Hopefully, he'll put that "strength" and "courage" to good work as his precious life unfolds.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you, wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
